Does anyone know where I can get a nice bitmap serif font?
I've got the miniml set and I like ceriph 07_55 but it's just a bit too small. I'd like something one or two pixels sizes bigger.
Before anyone chops mah heid aff, I've looked through all the archives and had a hunt through all the links I can find, but there's not that many serif bitmap fonts around.
HELP!

with-M do a couple of nice bitmap serifs:

Cheers, but I can't find any serif fonts there.

Or you could just use Georgia.

Cheers for that Stimuli. (I meant that I couldn't see anything on the swollen elbow link).
I like Georgia, but in Flash 12pt's too big and 11 pt's too wee.
Are the with-m fonts avaiable in pc format?
- stimuli0
I've converted Bit 32 for you. Bit 45 isn't available yet.
- DonnieTV0
Once again you've proved yourself to be invaluable.
If I can return the favour let me know.
P.S. Not sexually unless it's for cash!

Shite - it didnae work.
It's saying it's not a valid font file.

Nae bother at all. What would I get for a few coppers? That's about all I've got left until payday.
- stimuli0
Weird, I can use the font but Fontographer, Fontlab, Transtype and TT Converter can't recognise the file type. Don't know what's going on.

I've gone through that site 4cY and I can't find any good serif body fonts.
DaFont's got 20 odd pages of bitmap fonts and I think there's only one serif font amongst it.

Miguel Hernandez just released a couple of fine serif bitties at Atomic Media.

Susan Kare's Six Dots is excellent too. (Even gots an italic!)

Cheers, but I'm really looking for a font that will work well as a body text.
C'mon man - soeone must know of a good bitmap serif body font.
PLEASE!
- wonderhurt0
There is no better bitmap than Georgia.

FFF Motive maybe?

yeah, FF Motive should be good enough for bodytext.... i can read it easily, that is:
on a 1600x1200 monitor after like 6 beers...

Nice one.
Thanks Stimuli.
I'm going to have a go at making my own as well.
Wish me luck!
